XO Planet Ping!.................
If FTL speed is ever achieved for a vehicle then all this will matter. With mankind on it current path our future is totally dim.
These depictions are just that, depictions.
No one has SEEN an exoplanet. They are only purportedly detected by the slight dimming of the light of a distant star as the supposed planet transverses our view of the star.
And by this, “scientists” pretend to be able to size the planet and analyze the atmosphere.
That’s like claiming to know the eye color of a man by his footprints in some mud.
If the article has no mention of Uranus, I don’t want to hear about it.
There is no life beyond earth other than whatever space-surviving virions or bacteria we’ve flung out there on some spacecraft.
Blah, blah, blah...nothing out there. No moon cheese, no Morons on the moon, no man in the moon, nothing but dust out there, everywhere.
Maybe they should CLAIM that they found “life”, just to see if it would stop the canadians from rioting and looting...
Does the exoplanet embrace DEI?
Only direct imaging will tell us what elements make up a planet’s atmosphere, and if there is oxygen which is a strong indicator of life, since it is a byproduct of photosynthesis.
How is something “simple but not easy”?
